Mech @ IIT Delhi. Survived third-year depression, two F grades, and a startup that burned ₹15L. Writing about it all.
After my own third year experience I wanted to build something that lowered the barrier to asking for help. Unsent lets students post anonymously and receive responses from peers and trained volunteers. No accounts, no tracking. Just a place to say what you are actually feeling. Working with two counsellors from IITD to moderate.
There are thousands of posts about successful student startups. Almost none about the ones that failed. I started collecting structured post-mortems from student founders — what they built, how much they raised, how long it lasted, the specific mistakes, and what they would do differently. 23 submissions so far. The patterns are striking.
